with 1 athlete qualified (Archery Compound Men) for the Games! 

Beautiful victory for Kasia Niewiadoma in the Fleche Wallone, after already finishing 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd in her career, finally she takes the win, her first in almost five years  

Yulimar Rojas (athletics) 
 
Reigning Olympic Champion in women’s triple jump, reigning World Record holder, reigning 4x World Champion and widely considered as the best athlete all time in this event, but won’t be defending her title at Paris after suffering an achilles injury during training. Wide open for the gold medal now. 

From what I found quotas went to all quarter-finalists from 2023 World Wushu Championships in each of 6 weights (in weights  with  less than 8 athletes quota places went to all athletes that competed (example: in women's 70 kg division only 3 athletes competed so only 3 quotas).

earned their first quota (or quotas) for the Games.
 
Wushu (Sanda) quotas now shown on the qualification page: https://www.theworldgames.org/editions/Chengdu-CHN-2025-14/qualifications/by-sport
 
I'm a little confused how quotas were distributed, given that one women's weightclass has 8 quotas awarded, but another only has 3 quotas awarded

I'm hoping for 2 quotas for  and 1 for . 

quota matches in men's freestyle
 
57kg: vs / vs
65kg: vs / vs
74kg: vs / vs
86kg: vs / vs
97kg: vs / vs
125kg: vs / vs
 
all 3 GBS wrestlers made it to the SF and I think all 3 of them have a good chance to win.
really surprised by this Samoan wrestler, he beat Egypt 10-0!!  

Comoros was very close to win a very surprising quota , leading 5-2 with 1 minute to go 
 
but his defense was terrible, he was standing wrongly the whole time and finally gave up a 4pts throw, he had this coming and I was sure it will happen sooner or later. 

- From 55kg to 100kg  and 55 to 80+ there are 10 and 7 categories in men and women respectively at every 5kg gap. 
 
- Moreover Right Arm and Left Arm are two separate categories meaning a total of 34 medal events.
 
- Losing semifinalist get bronze medals
 
- No limit on entry per nation. Multiple arm wrestlers from Ghana are participating in each event on an average 6 per each category. 
 
-In Women's 60kg  is the only nation participating with 7 arm wrestlers. All other events there are at least 1 arm wrestler from other country.
 
 

Entries list were updated.  Nahimana with bye in the first round.

also doesn't sent its team in men's sprint. Very odd decision. In last World cup  must finish higher than  to secure place in this event in Paris.

Great 3rd place for Kamil Kasperczak. Also overall great weekend for Poland in this World Cup.

Great 3rd place for Kamil Kasperczak. Also overall great weekend for Poland in this World Cup.

Here's timetable: https://european-athletics.directus.app/assets/5a968276-b711-47f2-8b71-f80c8d31a304/Timetable (01.03.2024).pdf

I would be happy if  won, has a lot of qualified teams          

Got cancelled. 

Honestly, any sport not being broadcast is an IOC fuck-up that's truly beyond belief. Don't market an event as a big deal if nobody is going to be able to really watch it anyway. A massive majority of sports fans (in countries where winter sports are significant) won't even have any clue the whole thing is going on in the next weeks. God knows it won't make any news here.
